The Review's "Images of Ometepe" photo exhibit premiers

From organic coffee farms to raging bulls, Review reporter Tristan Baurick captured many colorful images when he put down his pen and picked up a camera during a 2005 assignment to the island of Ometepe in Nicaragua.

Now his photographs of Bainbridge’s sister island are featured in a month-long photo show and fundraiser at Mora Iced Creamery in downtown Winslow.

The Review will donate all proceeds from the sale of the exhibit’s framed prints to the Bainbridge-Ometepe Sister Islands Association.

Much of Baurick’s reporting and photographs focused on BOSIA’s efforts to develop a clean water system, boost literacy rates, improve health care, build schools and develop markets for organic coffee farmers.

Call Mora at 855-8822 for hours of operation or the Review at 842-6613 to purchase photos.
